Please Allow 50's to Enter Ishgard w/o having completed MSQ

I started this game ~2 weeks ago and I'm already at the end of Patch 2.4 main-quests.

I'm glad someone said it.

Fact is, for those of us who started way back when, it seems like Main Scenario is such a long undertaking, and as far as leveling 1 to 50, it is. But that's par for the course with MMOs. Consider that the time only seems longer due to having had to wait between main patches and the MSQs that came with them. But if you put them all together, I'd wager they're still shorter than the original 2.0 Main Scenario, and definitely the 1-50 grind.

As it stands, I'm not bashing or criticizing the OP or anyone who may have decided they wanted to focus on crafting/gathering all this time. But as crafting/gathering are NOT integral to the MAIN SCENARIO, then they simply chose a detour that did not result in progression, thus the gate remains locked. Consider it a lesson learned, and try to exercise a little foresight going forward.
